Saima peralkaline complex


Alkaline complex in the western part of the Fengcheng alkaline magmatic massif, which consists of four large alkaline intrusions and a large number of alkaline volcanic and subvolcanic rocks. The Saima complex, located ca. 50 km northeast of Fengcheng City, covers an area of about 20 km2 at surface and extends to depths of more than 1000 m. Its top and margin consist of potassium-rich alkaline volcanic eruptive rocks (including leucitic porphyry, phonolite, trachyte and pyroclastic rocks). This suite is intersected by a first intrusive phase of mica-aegrine-nepheline syenite that occupies the center of the massif. A second intrusive phase produced a suite of sodium-rich aegirine-nepheline syenites in the northwestern part of the massif, which are the main ore-bearing rocks of the Saima uranium deposit. To the north, west and south, the complex is surrounded by Proterozoic dolomitic marble; phyllite occurs to the southwest and Sinian quartzite and Cambrian limestone to the northeast. The eastern part of the complex is covered by Jurassic conglomerate, sandstone and coal beds.

The Mesozoic alkaline rocks, closely associated with the rare metal and REE deposits in the study area, show a banded distribution at the intersection of EW- and NE-trending deep-seated faults. This alkaline complex belt, occurring as stocks and branches, extends 40 km and 15 km in the WE and NS directions, respectively, with an exposed area of approximately 200 km2. This belt consists of four alkaline intrusions and large numbers of alkaline volcanic and subvolcanic rocks. The alkalinity increases westward, with the lithology transitioning from syenite to Yunxia syenite.

Contact metasomatism is extensively developed: alkaline intrusive rocks in contact with phyllite or quartzite are strongly fenitized, and skarns have formed in the contact zone between alkaline intrusive rocks and dolomitic marble. Subsequent alteration includes metasomatic, pneumatolytic-hypothermal, meso-epithermal and hydrothermal processes. As a result of meso-epithermal alteration, primary nepheline syenites were transformed into alkali syenite from which nepheline and dark minerals have almost completely disappeared. This rock is locally referred to as "episyenite" and represents one of the ore-bearing rocks in the Saima uranium deposit.

In addition to the Saima deposit, numerous small occurrences of uranium and REE minerals have been found elsewhere in the complex, including uranothorite in fenite, uranothorianite in magnesian skarn, caryocerite in nepheline-aegirine-augite skarn, pitchblende in altered phonolite, and chevkinite group minerals in aegirine-nepheline syenite.
A complex that starddles several counties including Fengcheng County and Kuandian County.

Situated about 60 km NNE of Fengcheng City. The Saima complex consists of four main coeval alkaline intrusions that are oriented E–W: the Bolinchuan, Aiyang, Gujia, and Saima intrusions.

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Mesozoic : 240 Ma to 130 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
